I'm still here, plugging away. :smiley: I have been averaging right around 2300 calories/day. I still have days when I struggle, but they are getting fewer all the time! Still staying right at 305 pounds.

Still doing my chainmaille, I've even set up a web site to sell it now. I will be doing my second craft show on Saturday. My first show I sold one bracelet so that covered the cost of setting up. I consider that a success! I have even expanded so that now I am working in stainless steel, brass, bronze, and aluminum. I learn new weaves almost daily. I even started working with larger rings, therefore building more muscle in my arms! My hands don't hurt nearly as much as they used to!

My very first piece in stainless steel using Swarvoski crystals

I guess that's it for now. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here, and still kicking. :smile:

I thought I'd pop in and let everyone know I'm still here and plugging away. :smiley: My summer has been crazy busy. I'm setting up at three farmer's markets! I'm exhausted and almost ready for the season to end, but not ready in the least for it to end at the same time. Does that make any sense?

I don't even remember the last time I stepped on the scales. BIG improvement huh. :smile: While this season is almost over I'm already looking to next years season. I will be setting up at two markets next season.

I still have times when I have to fight to get those last 5-600 calories in, but it gets easier every month. I have no idea how I managed to do everything I did while only eating 800 - 1200 calories a day. I'm actually starting to feel hungry again! (Although it can be annoying at times. LOL)
